Hack Kotaku writer using an incredibly small sample size of terminally online perpetually outraged (probably white people) on X groups behalf in order to generate rage bait engagement for the article? Must be a day that ends with Y.

I have never heard anyone that’s black or hispanic ever say the words “cultural appropriation”. As usual this is white people trying to out SJW each other. It’s cringy as fuk.

At this point, these criticisms are just noise. No matter what you do, you’re going to offend someone. If the skins had been kept culturally matched with characters, people would be bitching about characters being pigeonholed with their nationality.

Have any of these people stopped to consider that maybe it’s not the character but the player that is wearing it? I don’t play Overwatch anymore but as a Chinese American I liked having all my characters (Pharah, Roadhog & Symmetra) wearing Chinese garb because I am in fact Chinese.  Should I only have to play Mei…

I don't know the writer of this article but Kenneth Shepard doesn't seem like a terribly Asian name to me. Are any Asian people actually upset? If they are let's talk about that but lets cut it out with the offended on others behalf bullshit.

Articles like this scream for a dislike button.

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

the shuttering of their competitive league tells you everything you need to know about the playability of OW/OW2. Going from 6 to 5 and basically calling an update a new game was the nail in the coffin for me. 

I mean, no insult but you definitely didn’t get Slay the Spire, it’s one of the greatest games made in the last decade, and that’s not overstatement or hyperbole. It’s notable too that a lot of non-gamers or casual gamers got it, whereas a handful of “real gamers” totally did not - not at all saying you’re the latter…

You guys are getting to the point where it seems like deliberate ignorance of what’s happening.

It says Scott Pilgrim on the package - no one enjoys having the old switcheroo on the main protagonist. That’s 101 stuff, guys

Can places please stop claiming Diablo IV and Starfield as top games of 2023.

The Mixed user reviews on Starfield should say enough about that game alone, not to mention the player count drop-off on a game that was supposed to be the next Skyrim and was supposed to be designed to be played for thousands of hours.

As…

$7 for a 4 oz bag of cookies is insane. Sure inflation is making things cost more but that means a family size bag of Oreos(which has four times as much product by weight as these cookies) is going to cost $5 instead of $4.

Then why report on it if you also think it’s silly?

For someone like that, “broke boy” means “person who won’t pay the simp surcharge for a product” rather than the dictionary definition.

I feel dumber for having read it.

Identity politics: the clamoring of affluent, upper-middle class types for greater access to board rooms, positions, privileges, etc., on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. That is what the author’s reference to “representation” means in this context.

Wouldn’t have been the same without Alec Holowka’s amazing soundtrack work anyway. What a shame he was driven to suicide by incessant social justice seekers harassing him for deeds past and already apologized for.

I mean NFTs are shite , and the people that buy them idiots, but I dont think they deserve being nuked with skin burning UV lights 

i don’t know what this has to do with gaming but lol
